            的重要性。隨著洞庭湖採砂工作停止，人們目睹                          To date, surveys, samples and data have been collected and
            長江江豚的次數亦有所增加。                                  analysed to raise local conservation awareness. Studies also include
                                                           assessment of the effectiveness of various conservation methods.
